I do not see much to choose between them in terms of output and 'php -i' is certainly handier when in a terminal session on the host.
You are right as far as your particular case is concerned. Showing something true in one particular case doesn't prove it is always so. (As opposed to showing just one case when it is not true which will be a proof of wrong statement).
I'm not going to make weird example when apache at start changes to custom php config just to support a point I tried to make. Still, when I troubleshooting a problem, I like to test something under as close to reality as possible. Just to avoid potential differences that may affect what I see in the test. This is sort of philosophy they taught me in programming classes waaay back. And this is what potentially saved me the length of troubleshooting in quite a few cases over my life. Again, it is not I who is this clever, it is just that I had great teachers. And as softly as I mentioned it ("I like more the way to see it as web server shows") hopefully didn't hurt anybody's feelings, but those who decide to give it their own thought might benefit from it. Hopefully.
But if this doesn't make sense to, whoever reads it, please, just ignore it.
